Definitions

  • This invention relates to a backpack type operating unit, more particularly to a backpack type operating unit having an operating device such as a chemical dispersion device, a blower or the like and a motive power source for driving the operating device such as an engine, both of which are mounted on a backpack frame.
  • an operating device such as a chemical dispersion device, a blower or the like
  • a motive power source for driving the operating device such as an engine
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,552,100 One example of the conventional backpack type operating units having an operating device and an engine power is illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,552,100, in which the operating unit is provided with an arm having a throttle lever on its end for operating the engine.
  • This arm is pivotably supported on a support member which is secured to the left lateral side of the operating unit so that the arm can be pivoted on a vertical plane at the left lateral side of the operating unit.
  • the arm when operating the operating unit, the arm is pivoted forward on the plane so as to point straight toward the forward direction of the unit.
  • the operating unit is housed, the arm is pivoted on the plane so as to point vertically and upwardly.
  • an improved operating unit as disclosed in Laid Open Japanese Utility Model Application No. 64-28972 has been proposed.
  • a mounting surface of the arm is faced toward a direction inclined downwardly and rearwardly with respect to the leftward direction of the operating unit in such a manner that the arm is rotated on a plane inclined with respect to the vertical plane generated at the lateral side of the operating unit.
  • the arm when the arm is pivoted forward to the front pivotal position, it points toward a direction inclined leftwardly with respect to the forward direction of the operating unit, that is, it extends toward a direction far from the operator. So that the arm rarely contacts with the body of the operator during the operation.
  • the arm is inclined outwardly not only at the front pivotal position but also at the upper pivotal position. Namely, even when the arm is provided upwardly, it is inclined outwardly with respect to the operating unit. This means that when the arm is pivoted upward to the operating unit, the arm remains being outwardly protruded. Consequently, the arm is likely to be damaged if it comes into contact with surroundings. Therefore, this outward inclination of the arm at the upper pivotal position is undesirable. Further, since the mounting surface of the arm is faced toward the direction as described above, that is, downwardly and rearwardly, a process of manufacturing a die of the arm is complicated.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide, with due consideration to the problems of such conventional apparatuses, a backpack type operating unit in which the arm points toward a direction inclined outwardly from the operator with respect to the forward direction of the operating unit at the front pivotal position during the operation, and when being stored of transported, the arm is pivoted so as to point vertically and upwardly or horizontally and rearwardly, in parallel with the side edge of the backpack frame.
  • a backpack type operating unit including a backpack frame having a front portion and a left lateral side portion, an operating device and a motive power source for driving the operating device, the motive power source and the operating device being mounted on the backpack frame, and the front portion of the backpack frame facing toward a forward direction and the left lateral side portion facing toward a leftward direction, the forward direction and the leftward direction being perpendicular to each other and lying in a common horizontal plane
  • the operating unit comprising: a supporting member mounted on the left lateral side portion of the back pack frame; a substantially longitudinal arm having two opposite end portions, the arm being pivotably mounted on the supporting member at one of the end portions so that the arm can be pivoted between a first pivotal position in which the arm points vertically upward with respect to the horizontal plane and a second pivotal position in which the arm points toward an inclined direction between the forward direction and the leftward direction; and means provided on the arm for operating the motive power source.
